Markets – for now – are not particularly interesting to us. Future’s down 100 :45 before the open. While we dropped below our “line in the sand” of a critical trend channel, the odds are pretty good we will have a decent entry point (for whichever direction) later on. Part of the reason is the … Read More

I haven’t heard back from Chis McCleary (he’s busy_) but I experienced a major drop in dream intensity and frequency for a couple of days right after the solstice. Back to normal now, but for a couple of days it was almost like “dropout” of the signal.  Most odd. A couple of great notes on the … Read More

The topic du jour is a rethinking of what drives the economic Long Wave.  First identified by Nikolas Kondratieff (Kondratiev to revisionists) in 1926, the notion of a 48-64 year economic cycle as a driver of future events is with us even now. Still, there are many questions about “the wave” and how it is … Read More

Is it interest rates climbing that are driving borderline people to finally buy a home?  Is the 2009 period gone behind us and never to return?  Is the APP BUBBLE going to last forever in Seattle and the Bay Area? Here’s this morning’s press release from S&P: NEW YORK, JUNE 26, 2018 – S&P Dow … Read More

We have a two part report this morning:  First a look at a possible bounce today (though of small magnitude) and then the update of the Case-Shiller S&P, CoreLogic (and the pizza guy) Housing numbers around 8:15 *(Central). This morning I’d like to share a tiny speck of my work over on the peoplenomics.com side of … Read More

First off, a morsel of science and conjecture  – arising from my recent research – about the world of Dreams. As I continue working on my next book (Psychocartography:  the Reality Stacks) something quite extraordinary has into view as a low, but greater than zero, possibility.  I’ll try to mash this down as compactly  as possible … Read More

If you’re the typical American, transfixed in the headlights of a phone tied-up to useless social(ist) “cause media” – this may not worry you much, but it should: The Stock Markets globally are down another one percent (very roughly) overnight.  And, when the US market opens in an hour, or so, we will expect to … Read More

Being a writer, as I half-ass am, there’s a terrible truth that comes out:  You can only write as well as you can absorb input. This may be why “Everyone has one book in them,” but when you ask “How many people have four, five, or more books in them?” the field narrows considerably. I’ve … Read More

Radio gear for emergencies?  Prepping?  Figuring out the Big Picture?  You’ve come to the right spot. While I usually don’t post a column on Sundays, we continue pressing on with all kinds of odd pursuits.  Some of which include ham radio, more ham radio, hacking space-time, using LLLT therapy for inflammation reduction and neural stimulation, … Read More

With so many people asking “Gee, what should we do to really retire?” I thought it would be worthwhile to explore a whole different concept.

One of our frequent posters to this site totally nailed it in one of the overnight posts.  His list evokes the terrible crisis sure to follow when America runs out of (Trump) “Bash:” “…just think about what they have done so far to try and discredit him.. well Racism didn’t work, sexism didn’t work, undermining … Read More

A week or so back, Elaine came wandering over to the shop.  “Got a hose washer around, anywhere?” Whenever she comes to the shop looking for something, my first reaction is to see how big her problem is and confirm that her solution is the ideal one.  She hasn’t been wrong on a parts call … Read More

There are two kinds of investors:  The pragmatic “mathemetists” (quants) who believe is there aren’t a few arcane math symbols in someone’s forward view of markets, there certainly can’t be any accuracy to the outlook. … Read More
